Reproduced on two brand new FC6 installations (both Intel P4 machines,one desktop with Ati Radeon, second notebook with i8xx integrated graphics. Another side effect - I can't use ctrl-alt-f1 to switch between TTYs and XServes. NOt sure though if it relates to keyboard inicator - please comment so that I know if to open another bugreport.
It even breaks compiz keyboard shortcuts ..
ctrl-alt-f1 works fine for me. But i disabled the keyboard indicator.
Miroslav, do you have xkeyboard-config installed? If not, that could explain why ctrl-alt-f1 doesn't work
Ray, please check if this Bug is really just a DUPE of Bug 206898, I believe so.
Sorry to confuse you, I mentioned that these bugs COULD be related as they started somehow together (crashing keyboard indicator and being unable to use ctrl-alt-f1 to switch between consoles). Unfurtunately disabling keyboard indicator didn't r-enable console switching.
Ray, see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=370038 for another libxlavier crash fix
For me downgrading libxml2 from 2.6.27-1.FC6 to 2.6.26-2.1.1 fixed the problem wiht keyboard indicator and fixed the way a couple other applets behaved (and the desktop generaly). Should i fill a bug against libxml2?
*** Bug 213969 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Updating libxklavirer as mentioned in BZ#213557 (and libxml2 that i have downgraded comment #9) fixed the problem
Created attachment 140503 [details] strace report about pup problem
I tried to install updates and something strange happened. First puplet said thet 7 updates are available, but when I pressed apply updates, pup started and said that some other process is accessing package information. (Perhaps this should be reported as a separate bug). The when I stopped puplet (and acctually had to stop yum-updatesd to remove conflict) and launched pup, it hanged. Attaching strace report about this. Finally when I restarted system (otherwise pup refused to do anything) and launched pup successfully, it said that no updates are available!!! Where are 7 ones that were available before this?!
Downgraded libxml2 (along with libxslt). Problem dissapeared. So it is in one of those libraries I guess (libxml2 or libxslt)
this bug has been fixed after applying the latest updates
Hey, what do you mean fixed?! Latest libxklavier is not enough to remove the bug. Downgrading libxml2 and libxslt is also required. So the problem still here
I am using libxml2-2.6.27-1.FC6 and libxslt-1.1.18-1.FC6 and the applet is working just fine. I didn't downgrade anything. Are you sure that your applet crashes with updated libxml2 and libxslt packages? If it still crashes, then open a new bug, because I can't reproduce that behavior.
Hey, you were right! Hmmm... but I was sure I had latest libxklavier when I encountered this bug.. Well anyway, it works fine now.
